- gain some weight (seriously! I'm 6'2" and 150 lb = 188 cm / 68 kg) I plan to do some lifting and body-weight routines.
- Did some work on the Civic and it's still going. 199,000 miles. Possibly getting a new-to-me car this year, with a hatchback for utility purposes.
- "only" 74 mpg for the year
- best ever tank of 90 mpg, 1191 miles

And I finally DID gain some weight. I had to eat a TON - double what I used to, plus a lot of protein. 3x a week workouts. Result: +10 lb and visibly bigger. Bonus: less back pain.
